12. RHINOLOPHUS THOMASI, sp. n. (Plate ITI. fig. 10.) 
Rhinolophus affinis rouxi? (non Temm.), Thomas, Ann. Mus. 
Civ. Genova (2) x. (1892) p. 15, pl. xi. fig. 3. 
Diagnosis. Allied to Rh. rouxi, but p* external to the tooth-row. 
Smaller than rowwi, with considerably shorter metacarpals, and 
the tip of the lancet excessively shortened. Third metacarpal 
30°-4-31 mm. Forearm 44°8-45-7 mm. 
Details. While being similar to 2h. rowwi in the shape of the 
sella and the ears, and the proportionate length of the tail, 
Rh. thomasi differs, externally, from that species in the following 
particulars :— 
The horse-shoe is considerably narrower ; it is even narrower 
than in the smaller borneensis and in the much smaller malayanus. 
- The tip of the lancet is exceedingly short, almost rudimentary ; it 
is the hastate lancet of rowai carried to an extreme. 
The general size is smaller, as seen by the measurements of the 
forearm. But the metacarpals are proportionately mach shorter, 
as short as inthe much smaller malayanus. ITI.° is comparatively
